The United States imposed sanctions against Rosneft and Lukoil companies.

As U.S. President Donald Trump's second presidential term began, the country for the first time imposed sanctions on Russia's largest energy companies — "Rosneft" and "Lukoil".

The restrictions will also apply to subsidiary enterprises in which these companies hold a 50 percent or greater stake.

According to experts, these sanctions also increase the risk of secondary sanctions for foreign firms that cooperate with these companies and import oil and oil products.
